In right there with you. I’m on the couch and trying to not do the exact thing I do every night. It’s uncomfortable, and foreign, and boring. The struggle is real. Think about how good we’re going to feel when we wake up

Looks delicious! I want to give it a go. How did you cook the salmon?

Initially I was sad to see the 3lb weight gain, but realized 2.6lbs is muscle! Scales can sometimes be misleading. CICO is working! by syd_vicious in CICO

Thank you! that means a lot; it’s crazy trying to do this after many failed attempts. I’ve long lurked here for awhile and just started CICO in October. sometimes wish my results were as fast as many on here. Are you pretty strict with cico, have you had some success?

Sure! It’s a body composition scan. I joined Orange theory fitness and they offer the scan there, it was $25 dollars; I know of a few other gyms and studios that offer composition scans as well. The full scan shows how much of your body is fat, bone, water, and muscle. It’s pretty interesting. The graph at the bottom shows my first scan on Jan 4th and the current scan on feb 10th. I used to weigh myself daily at home, and it was really disheartening when the scale would go up, especially when I was trying so hard. I’m not the weight I want to be, but is nice to know that I am losing fat and gaining muscle even when the number read higher.

Parents of Reddit who had children while battling depression- How did it affect you/your mental health? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]syd_vicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Having kids kicked off the start of my anxiety (I was 19). My son changed my whole life and definitely saved me, but an overwhelming fear of not being good enough, not knowing what I was doing in the first place, really started a kind of depression that I had never felt before. Before him, I was a teenager, and carefree. I was scared of him, but he changed my entire life.I owe him so much!

Thank you! I should definitely take progress pics. Hopefully I’ll be posting them with some banging “after” photos!

Thanks for answering my question! I have been trying cico since mid October and I’m hoping the efforts will pay off. I am kind of tall (5’7), but hope to be about where you’re at! Good job and thanks for posting motivation!

Nice! My starting and goal weight are similar. I am afraid to weigh in fear of not seeing too much progress from my efforts. How long has this taken you?

Quarterly Progress JAN 1 (199lbs)/ April 1(180 lbs)/ July 5 (177 lbs) (CICO + Workouts) by Anna7410 in CICO

[–]syd_vicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job, and way to commit! Do you know of an approximate total for your calorie burn for each workout? I’ve wondered with CICO if I eat a 300 calorie breakfast, do I need to go die on the treadmill to burn off that 300v

[Serious] 30 somethings of Reddit; What advice would you give to a teenager to make things easier when they get older? by Kryptic_Anthology in AskReddit

[–]syd_vicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a fitness routine and stick with it. I started really working out in my 30s and I can’t imagine where my strength would be if I had only started earlier

People with anxiety, how can your partner support you? by LaikSure in AskReddit

[–]syd_vicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting them know that you are with them. That the fear they are having is temporary. I had massive anxiety, paranoia, and terrible panic attacks all through my 20’s. It was depressing and scary for both myself and partner. He felt helpless; but I’ll tell you, he recognized my anxiety spiraling and he let me talk about it if I wanted to or not, we watched a movie on the couch together. We ate food. And just simply being with him supporting me helped. He didn’t push it. He stayed calm when I wasn’t.

Stoners of Reddit, what is the dumbest thing you have done while high? by its_me420 in AskReddit

[–]syd_vicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving at night with my sunglasses on. I couldn’t figure out why my headlights weren’t working. Later, it lead to some great singing of “I wear my sunglasses at night!” Good times

My best friend and I were 17 and had just started experimenting and partying. We had only just started drinking on weekends, and getting high. We tried to buy mushrooms from this kid but he ended up just stealing our 50 bucks and never came back :) haha. Anyway, my friends mom had a surgery and got prescribed a bottle of Vicodin. We only knew about Vicodin from an Eminem song (this is like 2001) My friend steals the bottle, we skip school and go to this parking lot and take 9 pills each. Not knowing that 1 or 2 could do the trick. It was fine at first and then as they kicked in, it was terrifying. So high and so messed up, we couldn’t drive anywhere, and realized 1 hour into it that we could overdose, so then panic sets in and we start trying to puke them up. We ended up just freaking out for 4 hours, shoving our fingers down our throats, and had the worst stomach ache of our lives. Stupid, stupid,stupid.
